have a look at the thread "copying classes?" some days ago. what goes for copying goes for pickling also, because the modules use the same interface.

Hi,
It seems to me that it's not possible with the pickle module to serialize a class rather than an instance, as in
from pickle import *
class C(object): "... doc ..." a = 1
pickstr = dumps(C)
I mean, it does *something*, there is no error indeed, but from the string pickstr, I am unable to rebuild the class C in a brand new context (got a "you're really stupid, all you deserve is an AttributeError because you know there is no attribute 'C' in the 'module' object" error).
Am I wrong ? Why would the "(new-style) classes are regular objects too" mantra not apply in this case ? Could we imagine a patch to the pickle module to handle this kind of situation ?
